Properly drafted Commercial Contracts

Every business is unique, but properly drafted contracts are important to encourage performance and protect your business in relation to:

What is expected of you, the coverage of your services or quality of your product

Who you are entering into a contract with

Sensibly limiting your liability to customers and clients

Ensuring payment – receiving the correct amounts and on time

Well drafted contracts offer a transparent view of what is being provided and what is expected in return, together with a road map for resolving any disputes in the business relationship along the way. Contract disputes stubbornly remain one of the most common legal expenses.
